The selection of Giselle Gutierrez, Esq. to the Florida Super Lawyers list for 2026 marks her second consecutive year on the primary list, a distinction limited to roughly the top five percent of attorneys in the state. For clients and legal observers, the recognition carries weight beyond the honor itself: it highlights a practice structured to represent both employers and employees, a positioning that is uncommon in employment law and that may offer strategic advantages in negotiation and litigation.
Gutierrez is recognized in Employment and Labor on both sides, as well as in Business Litigation and Employment Litigation for plaintiffs and defense. Her advancement from five years on the Florida Rising Stars list, where she appeared from 2018 through 2022, reflects a shift in how the profession assesses a sustained record rather than an early-career trajectory. The Super Lawyers applies a patented selection process that combines peer nomination, independent research, and peer evaluation by practice area, giving the honor a reputational signal that can influence client decisions and case outcomes. For a firm like Exhibit G Law Firm, the repeat recognition may serve as a trust marker in a crowded legal market.
The implications extend to how workplace disputes are handled on both sides of the table. On the employer side, Gutierrez advises businesses on wage and hour practices, disability accommodation, family leave, workplace privacy, and litigation risk, and prepares employment agreements and separation agreements. On the employee side, she pursues claims involving discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, unpaid overtime, and whistleblower protections. Contested matters proceed through employment litigation in state and federal court or before the EEOC and the National Labor Relations Board.
That dual perspective can be a decisive asset. An attorney who has drafted employment agreements and defended employers is often better equipped to anticipate defense strategies when representing employees, and vice versa. For businesses, it means counsel who understands the practical pressures employees face; for workers, it means a lawyer who knows how employers structure policies and document decisions. The recognition by peers across both sides suggests the approach has been validated by the Florida bar.
The firm has also expanded its footprint over the past year, adding capacity in South Florida and extending service into northern New Jersey. Gutierrez conducts seminars and training sessions for business audiences on labor and employment compliance, work aimed at preventing disputes rather than reacting to them. That preventive focus is increasingly important as employment regulations evolve and as remote and hybrid work arrangements complicate compliance.
Additional recent recognitions include selection to The Best Lawyers in America, the Daily Business Review's On The Rise honor in the 2025 Florida Legal Awards, Lawyers of Distinction in 2025, and the University of Florida Levin College of Law Outstanding Young Alumnus Award. For clients evaluating legal representation, the 2026 Super Lawyers selection reinforces a track record that spans more than a decade of labor and employment practice and a firm positioned to serve both sides of the workplace equation.
